Jimin has re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart

BTS's Jimin has re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart at No. 24 with his track "Who", continuing an impressive 23-week run of popularity.

According to the latest Billboard chart released on January 11, Jimin's "Who" climbed back to No. 24 on the Hot 100 chart, marking 23 weeks on the chart in total. This achievement sets a new record for the highest ranking on the Hot 100 during a K-pop song's 23rd week. Additionally, "Who" has surpassed its own record as the longest-charting song by a Korean solo artist on the Hot 100 since PSY's "Gangnam Style". Among all K-pop tracks, it holds the fourth longest-charting record after BTS's "Dynamite" (32 weeks), PSY's "Gangnam Style" (31 weeks), and FIFTY FIFTY's "Cupid" (25 weeks).

Thanks to the remarkable performance of "Who", Jimin has also re-entered the Billboard Artist 100 chart at No. 86, bringing his total chart entries to 32 weeks. He remains the first and only K-pop solo artist to achieve No. 1 on the Artist 100 chart.

On the Billboard 200 main album chart, Jimin's second album, "MUSE", which includes "Who", has soared 36 spots to No. 106, securing a 24-week streak on the chart. Notably, "MUSE" is the only K-pop album from 2024 to achieve this feat.

Jimin's dominance extends to other Billboard charts as well. "Who" previously held the No. 1 spot for two consecutive weeks on the Global 200 and Global (Excluding U.S.) charts and has now returned to the Top 10, ranking No. 10 and No. 9, respectively. This accomplishment highlights his strength as a solo artist without collaborations with globally renowned singers.

Furthermore, on the Streaming Songs chart, "Who" jumped 36 spots to reach No. 13, setting a new personal best. It is now the second-longest-charting K-pop song on the Streaming Songs chart with a 24-week run, following PSY's "Gangnam Style".

On the Billboard World Albums chart, "MUSE" ranked No. 2 and has remained on the chart for 24 weeks. This makes it Jimin's second-longest-charting solo album on the World Albums chart, after his debut album "FACE", which has spent 63 weeks on the chart.

Jimin's consistent achievements solidify his status as a globally influential solo artist in the K-pop industry.
